White Widow Weed

White Widow is one of the most notorious cannabis strains of all. The strain was bred in the 1990s from a South Indian Indica and a Brazilian Sativa and got its name because of its striking white buds. The leaves of the plant produce a particularly large amount of resin, which is an indicator of the potency of the strain. The first White Widows had a THC content of 11 to 12 percent. In the meantime, the THC content has risen to 16 to 20 percent. The strain discovered by Shantibaba, the founder of well-known cannabis breeders such as Green House Seeds, has its origins in the old Brazilian sativa landrace Manga Rosa. White Widow was discovered in India. There, in the mountains of Kerala, Shantibaba met a farmer who cultivated the plant specifically for high resin production.
